Bolton Road

Surgeries open from various times. The earliest appointment can be booked with Dr Finegan at 8.00 am, which ensures that a patient can schedule an appointment before they attend work if necessary. However, we open at 7.30am to deal with other enquiries Bookings can then be arranged with other Doctors up to 12pm.

Usually, there is no surgery between 12 and 1pm; however the reception stays open throughout the day even when there are no surgeries. This enables patients to collect their prescriptions or book an appointment if necessary.

Afternoon surgeries start at 1.00pm and the doctors stagger their starting and finishing times so that there is cover until between 5.00pm and 5.30pm.

The surgery is open until 6.30 pm, which ensures that patients can visit the practice after they have finished work for such purposes as collecting prescriptions, making appointments etc.

The surgery is no longer open at weekends.

Home Visits

If possible please try to telephone reception before 10am if you require a home visit.

A doctor or nurse may phone you back as it may be that your problem can be dealt with by telephone advice, or that it would be more appropriate to send a nurse, or indeed arrange a hospital attendance.

House visits are only available for patients who are housebound because of illness or disability.

Please remember that several patients can be seen in the practice in the time that it takes to make one home visit. There are also better facilities for examining and treating patients at the Health Centre.

Bolton Road SurgeryThere is a substantial car park and also road parking available. The practice accepts no liability for patients parking cars on the car park surrounding the surgery premises. Cars are parked at the owners risk. The car park is free and there is no time limit.

Victoria Road SurgeryThere is no car park at the Victoria Road Surgery. Parking is very limited. Patients may park on Victoria Road for a maximum of 30 minutes without a permit, but the Traffic Wardens are very keen. If you think you may be more than 30 minutes in the surgery, a parking permit may be obtained from reception but you will have to leave your keys to ensure return of the permit when leaving. There is one disabled parking bay in front of the building which does not need a permit, but may only be used by disabled patients.
